St. Louis Regional
 

Looks like the WI teams are invading St. Louis this year, watch out for the 5 of us. Anyone else goin?

Re: St. Louis Regional
 

All of the Arkansas teams are going to STL. OK, maybe I should say both of us.

Re: St. Louis Regional
 

Not sure why but in the past it seems that "some" vet teams have come to st. louis due to the large number of rookies present. (last year about half) A fair warning to those going to st. louis: The competition is very fierce for a rookie dominated regional. Our team has been there since it started two years ago and every year it has been the same. See past st. louis stuff.

I love that about st. louis!
You can see alot of "new" ideas and people every year!
Note: The prank monkeys are back! Yeah!

Get chattin' St. Louis!
 

Hey what's Up? There needs to be more talk here! Who's goin'! Where yah stayin'! Let's show CDer's how awsome SL is! Do any rookies have questions? :yikes: :yikes: :yikes: :)

The St. Louis Regional is amazing and good luck to all teams heading that way in March! I am now out of high school (at Iowa State University), but I was disappointed to see our home team 525 going to Chicago instead of St. Louis. St. Louis has been our home for the last two years and I have loved both times going down there.

To any rookie teams to St. Louis: You are going to have a blast!! :)

Re: St. Louis Regional
 

If any rookies (or anyone else headed to SL) need help with any stuff PM me anytime! (I know there are alot in St. Louis!)

Re: St. Louis Regional
 

St Louis was definately fun in 2002 when we went in as rookies and came out as regional champs, haha...but no st.louis this year for us...nj is going to ca, even further...at least we wont take a bus this time!

Re: St. Louis Regional
 

We (547) went last year and had the best time! We are going back this year, and I can't wait! :)

Re: St. Louis Regional
 

The Indiana Prank Monkeys are indeed back.

We're looking forward to seeing all of you there!

Re: St. Louis Regional
 

Do the monkey!!!! ;)

Re: St. Louis Regional
 

We'll be back, too. Along with our wireless access scouting DB and hopefully more fun stuff this year, too! :)

Hope to see you all there!

Re: St. Louis Regional
 

Team 933 (Rockford, IL) is going to St. Louis this year. Two years ago we went to St. Louis as a rookie team then last year we went to the Midwest Regional at Northwestern.

Re: St. Louis Regional
 

I know a lot of teams are looking at the FIRST assigned hotels in St. Louis this year and going, "GAAAACK!"

My wife researched other hotels in the area. We ultimately landed on the Towne Place Suites, which are about 1 mile from the competition venue and reasonably priced.

Here is a core dump of the other information that she obtained. We do not advocate any of these hotel options. This is just some information to maybe save some of you some time. We have not investigated these properties for cleanliness, security, safety or any other attribute.
